(don't think this one went through. Apologies if this is a repost) I'm having troubles getting my backups automated. I set up a file "test" in the cron.d directory with the settings...
5,10,15 * * * sunkcost /bin/tar -cf /home/sunkcost/test.tar /home/sunkcost/test.txt I thought that cron was supposed to check through its crontab and related files every minute or so, but nothing happens. I tried restarting cron manually, root as the user, and editing crontab directly, but no dice. I'm probably missing something really obvious for what seems like a straightforward setup, but I'm stuck. Can somebody give me some help here? TIA, --SC
